Pepto-Bismol

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Gut Feeling.”

I hate to bring up relationships, but that is usually when I get my gut feelings about situations. Recently, I had to go with my gut feelings about a woman I was very much in love with and cared about. I know all relationships have their up’s and down’s but this one went from being sky high over looking the world to being buried alive 6 feet deep into the ground. I had to put my life in perspective over the blindness and reality that love sometimes shields us from. I was going through the worst time of my life and then I remembered that I had to use my intuition or what had been turned into an upset stomach of a gut feeling at that point. I quickly did my reality check, focused myself and did what I had to do for myself, my kids, my friends and my family. Now, thinking about moving on hasn’t left me so sick in the stomach and I made the best move in my life emotionally, spiritually and creatively… so now I just watch the actions and words that people feed me… so I don’t have to reach for that Pepto-Bismol anymore if I’ve had enough to eat.
